libxml-feed-perl

_XML::Feed_ is a syndication feed parser for both RSS and Atom feeds. It also implements feed auto-discovery for finding feeds, given a URI. _XML::Feed_ supports the following syndication feed formats: * * RSS 0.91 * * RSS 1.0 * * RSS 2.0 * * Atom The goal of _XML::Feed_ is to provide a unified API for parsing and using the various syndication formats. The different flavors of RSS and Atom handle data in different ways: date handling; summaries and content; escaping and quoting; etc. This module attempts to remove those differences by providing a wrapper around the formats and the classes implementing those formats (XML::RSS and XML::Atom::Feed). For example, dates are handled differently in each of the above formats. To provide a unified API for date handling, _XML::Feed_ converts all date formats transparently into DateTime objects, which it then returns to the caller.
